Chicago

I'm just waitin' on a ride, to take me to Cherry coal mine
Deep down I know I should quit the job, 'cause all the boys that died
But right now, it's all I got, cause the music ain't payin' the bills
One day I hope it will,
But for now I'm stuck deep down under these hills

Dreamin' bout-blue eyed women
And a bottle of red-eyed gin
If I ever make it out from under the ground
I'll be sure I don't come back again

When I finally manage to climb out, I'll back and workin' on the sound
But this other business on the side, has been keepin' me up at night
Yeah the sheriff's been on my tail, and I ain't goin' back to jail
Brother have I ever let you down? C'mon let's get outta town

And go to Chicago, I heard the water tastes like wine
We can hide out, and stay there just as long as we like
Yeah I'm sure they'll have blue-eyed women,
And you know they got red-eyed gin
So let's go to Chicago, and start all over again

Yeah it's only 'bout a hundred miles,
And you've never seen a place so wild
We could slip away into the night, and wake up in another life
Yeah they got a lotta jobs for hire, after livin' down the fire
So maybe we can do the same, and take on other names

In Chicago, I heard the water tastes like wine
We can hide out, and stay there just as long as we like
Yeah I'm sure they'll have blue-eyed women,
And you know they got red-eyed gin
So let's go to Chicago, and start all over again

So let's go to, where the water tastes like wine,
Cause I'm all done, burnin' up my days here in the mine

Yeah I'm sure they'll have blue-eyed women,
And you know they got red-eyed gin
So let's go to Chicago, and start all over again
